Sheri, You can find all the microfilms at the National Archives in Zagreb... plus many that the LDS does not have in their Library collection. In addition Sanja Frigan-Cihua and Miro Caic are very reputable and very good at what they do... in addition much of Miro's transcribed parish databases are online at the Bosiljevo web page Besides there is no Family History Center in Croatia...and since the films are kept at Salt Lake City it would not make sense to order and rent them in Croatia... if they could even do that. Also you will find Roko Strinic on the Ancestry forums who helps people gratis. But adding reputable, reliable researchers is always a good idea.. >> Sanja Frigan-Cihua at: sanja.frigan@zg.htnet.hr >> >> Miro Caic at: miroslav.caic@ka.htnet.hr Robert Jerin Sheri Dye <roots@ainfo.com> wrote: Dear LISTER'S: I have been reading these and I am going to ask my friend who is serving an LDS mission in Zagreb, Croatia if they have a family history library over there in their Branch. Who knows we may get lucky with a willing local who loves history and helping others. I will get back to the lister's if I hear of anything....MERRY CHRISTMAS!
